GRADING
Cover:
front: beautiful glossy sheen—minimal handling wear (EX), water stain along bottom seam (G+), see digital photo #1; back: matt finish with minor handling wear & discolouration (majority of cover is VG+), some unsightly staining along bottom seam due to water damage & tape holding the bottom flap to the cover—very unfortunate (FAIR), “xxxxx 21-11-63 HP” written in felt pen & name stamp, see digital photo #2.
Record:
EX+ visual: beautiful glossy sheen—OUTSTANDING copy, the lightest hairline scuffs only; audible: just PLAYED LOUD through 100 WATT speakers and it SOUNDS SUPERB overall, with the most insignificant surface noise during the quieter passages only; labels: HARDLY ANY spindle wear, see digital photo #3. HARD TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THE DISC!! DISC COMES INSIDE ORIGINAL EMI INNER BAG.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS RECORD WAS RELEASED 47 YEARS AGO!
